Erie County Fair is poised for 173rd yearBusiness First Tuesday, August 7, 2012,The Erie County Fair is almost here.

Starting tomorrow, the fair will be back at The Fairgrounds in Hamburg for its 173rd edition. It will run until August 19.

Tickets for preteens will be free, as in previous years. “We love having kids 12 and younger come in for free because it encourages families to come out for multiple visits,” said Louann Delaney, director of marketing and public relations for the fair.

This year, several new and free attractions will debut, ranging from the Nerveless Nocks’ 40-foot acrobatic stunts to Mango and Dango’s circus performances on stilts to many wild animal showcases.

Along with these acts, guests can also enjoy a free street show performance with Steve Trash and his combination of global eco-learning and magic.
